Shortlist announced for £245m Commonwealth Games village

Four teams headed by Gladedale, Davis Langdon, Broadway Malyan and a Glasgow developer have been shortlisted to build the £245m Commonwealth Games village.

The four consortiums were officially ratified by Glasgow City Council this morning (Thursday) and will begin a competitive dialogue process for the top job.

The council is expected to refine the shortlist to two by the end of the year and announce the successful bidder by summer 2009.

The Commonwealth Games village is to include up to 1,500 homes and will be built in Glasgow’s east end.

The full details of the teams are:

• PPD Consortium led by developer Charles Price with Mace, Caledonian Building, Woogar Hunter, DTZ, Ian Simpson Architects, Reiach and Hall Architects, Elder and Cannon Architects, Nord Architecture and Murray Dunlop Architects.
• Gladedale Consortium with Bellway Homes and Citta Property Group.
• City Legacy Consortium led by Davis Langdon with RMJM, Cruden Estates, MacTaggart & Mickel, Citybuilding and CCG.
• Broadway Malyan Consortium with Arup, Drivers Jonas and New City Vision.

Around 70 firms submitted expressions of interest earlier this year when the project was announced.
